Questions ( For the one that lost)


Tears. 
What made her that way?
What got her so frozen?
She was the light bearer,
the soft breeze from the sea.

She was supposed to be 
the angel's wings,
levitating his faltering breath
She was meant to be 
the node 
of his blooming heart.

But, then, in mid throb, 
in the height 
of their frenetic dance, 
she let fly, her grip.

Now, he's fallen 
below his fallen shadows. 
He's walking and talking, 
screaming her name.

"what do you want me to be?" he had cried, 
when yestarday, 
she went through the door.

That same yestarday, 
he put a knife in god's eyes, 
when he didn't lead him to her.

And he, storming out of home,
resolved to get lost.

And, she heard it all, 
was told by god.
She heard his distant voice, screaming
"I've lost it all"

Yet, she went ahead, 
brushing away his gummy stare.
Letting fall, his dripping  heart.

She ran, wanted to fly 
to him, the other guy 
who made her stay up at night 
to suck his hairy toes. 

Then, was the harmattan 
and her breasts were sore.
From the fallen guy's love.

But, soon, 
its the rainy season 
and on her knees,
she is asking 

"why was I so frozen?"
